  • Sixrth Sunday after Pentecost - Angry and Wistful- Choral Eucharist - 10.30am Sunday 20 July 2014 - "Exactly a week ago we were standing on the steps of the Cathedral after one of the services. A man approached and I indicated that he was welcome to come in and have a look around. But he stopped and spoke to us. He was, I felt, both angry and wistful."
    The Dean - The Very Rev'd Frank Nelson
  • Fifth Sunday after Pentecost - God’s Bounty on Sea Sunday- Choral Evensong - 7.00pm Sunday 13 July 2014 - "Famine is not a word we commonly associate with Australia these days – though we know well the causes of famine in drought, fire and flood. At last year’s Deans’ Conference in Tasmania I remember being fascinated to hear that the very early settlers there experienced famine when they ran out of wheat imported from England."
    The Dean - The Very Rev'd Frank Nelson
  • Fifth Sunday after Pentecost - Choral Eucharist - 10.30am Sunday 13 July 2014 -“As much as I love gardening and living in the country, there’s one thing I could never be – a farmer! Farming seems such a risky enterprise."

    Preacher - Rev'd Grant Moore
  • Benedict in Adelaide - Special Mass for Benedictine Oblates at St Jude's Brighton -12 July 2014 - "1989 was something of a watershed year – not only for me but for the world. World communism effectively collapsed, mostly peacefully, with the Iron Curtain, epitomised by the Berlin Wall, being breached. Hitherto unknown countries came into being as the East European Soviet-controlled bloc was dismantled and nation states claimed the right to exist."
    The Dean - The Very Rev'd Frank Nelson
  • Fourth Sunday after Pentecoste - Evensing 7.00pm  6 July 2014 - "An elderly catholic nun once told me about her days as a young woman in Ireland.."

    Preacher - Rev'd Jane Lee Barker
  • Fourth Sunday after Pentecost - Come to me- Choral Eucharist - 10.30am Sunday 6 July 2014 - "Back in the days when a laptop meant two knees covered in a rug with a cat comfortably settled on top; a mouse was normally found in a cage or a cheese-bated trap; a treadmill was something the pet hamster, not your neighbour, used for exercise; and being gay meant having a good time with a smile on your face, there was a popular series of cartoon drawings."

    • Welcome

    Welcome to the website of St Peter’s Cathedral, Adelaide.

    Sixth Sunday after Pentecost - Sunday 20 July 2014 

    Welcome: Weeds – flowers/plants in the wrong place. We’ve all heard that definition of weeds, but what did Jesus understand by weeds in this week’s Gospel parable in Matthew 13? The explanation offered is that the weeds are ‘the children of the devil’. Not the sort of language that sits comfortably with us today. It is all too easy to think as ‘weeds’ those who are different to us, whom we dislike, don’t understand, are fearful of. If there is one strong lesson from the parable it is that judgment is for God,
               not us.

    Welcome to the Venerable Paul Mitchell, Archdeacon of the Para and priest at Prospect, as he preaches at Evensong. Paul is also a member of the new Cathedral Chapter.

    I shall be in Melbourne Monday to Friday this week, attending a training session as part of the national training team for EfM mentors. EfM is a Christian education programme for adults which involves both academic study and rigorous theological reflection in today’s context.

    Welcome to all who worship God today.  You will notice that the Lord’s Prayer has been moved to follow the intercessions.
